Totally different type of song. WGIGO is a Raise Your Hands, Bad Medicine type of song that gets the crowd going. Every artist has songs like that they play live, from Bon Jovi to Springsteen to anyone else you can name. Do I personally want WGIGO? No, but it's always good live and the groove really gets people going. Honestly, there are a lot of parts of the set that need to be changed before WGIGO.

Not a fan of it anymore just because it sounds so poor live.

Yeah it has lost everything. I never though it had much but whatever it was it's gone now.

There are way too many BJ hits that are like that nowadays but they HAVE to be played.

I get what you're saying, I dance along to it myself but I certainly wouldn't miss it. Why not rotate songs like this with CC, RYH etc. they have plenty of crowd participation songs the could get into. Get ready actually worked really well in Lisbon, Jon could easily work a song like that on the ramp and get the crowd into it.

I remember listening to get ready on the live audio stream from Lisbon. It sounded so shockingly good and FUN.

Sarcasm obviously....Jon should do an intimate gig for fan club holders only playing all rarities. Said this before. I have no problem with the structure of these gigs-especially in Jersey. You will get more casuals there from the NJ area BECAUSE its Jovi. Just because 1% want to hear Living Ian Sin, Hey God and Never Say goodbye does not mean that the other 99% do. They want hits. And a happy crowd means all is good in Jovicamp thus these people that had a blast will come again
Nickolai- 99% of the casuals in NJ want to hear Never Say Goodbye because it was their prom song.

While the performance this night was quite good for this tour's standards I am certainly glad I didn't drop the cash I usually do to be close to the stage and in the thick of the action. For what it's worth to this discussion, the casual fans in the back the arena where just as jazzed about DC as the fans were at the Dublin show I was at in June. That could mean possibly two things: 1) that DC is no longer 'rare' or 2) American fans do know some and appreciate some of the deeper cuts. If #2 is the case, someone should get the memo to JBJ.

or maybe....

#3 more diehards are buying cheap tickets at the back because they've seen the band 46 times and won't pay alot of money to be up front, so basically you were surrounded by more diehards than you would of thought?

Possibly! And I don't blame any of them for doing so with this sorry, old set list!
